good morning all. 75 out now, foggy, going up to high 80's, maybe low 90's like yesterday

Luther, ground hornets, no fun. Always thought "yellow jackets" were most aggressive, but I've had those hornets
come after me too, now I have to keep an epi pen around. Find they like to get in the mulch. Like fire ants, which I'm glad you don't have,
they seem to like disturbed, softer soil.

Wish I could send you some water...plenty of it here.

unpacked my Amazon boxes and charged up my noise cancelling headphones. I may wear them while a/c unit is going, see if it reduces tinnitus.
Inexpensive pair, not like the good Sony or Bose model, but I found the last under 50 dollar pair to perform quite well.

enjoying my coffee and wondering what I'm going to do today.

I could use some computer advice. My Asus pc has a I7 processor and a Nvidia video card, always plenty fast enough. But the hard drive is making more noise now and it worries me. No, I never got to vacuuming out the inside but that tiny whiny rotational ball bearing noise isn't going to go away with a vacuum. I have about 500gb of storage on a 1TB drive. I do not have confidence swapping out a hard drive, and safely transferring the data. I do not know if chassis will hold a second hard drive. Thinking maybe a solid state hard drive added on, or even an external traditional one added on would be simplest fix. Then I assume there is a process to make the new drive the boot/primary drive and simply bypass the old drive.

Once upon a time I had an external WD external HD but it's now MIA. Instead of buying a new pc, seems a new HD makes more sense. First of all, where do I go to find out what processor is in this unit? The specs page...Maybe it's old enough(how do I find in service date also?) and pc's are cheap enough it's time to replace. But while I never bought the fastest I always have bought a reasonably fast model to try to avoid obsolescence. Currently running W10.

I'm sure I'm making this sound harder than it is, a number of you have swapped out hard drives easily. I want to be proactive here and not reactive to a failed HD.
Thanks

Good idea. Someone donated a bunch of those cabinets to our church. We have them in storage I think, might procure one of them.

Mine also came with all the rails for hanging files. The drawers are deep enough for "legal" size but .. I use "letter" size.

Are you sure it’s hard drive or a fan making the noise?
In windows, there is a “system” page that will tell you the processor, but that has nothing to do with the hard drive.
You need to clone the drive to get the OS on the new drive. I like to use a seagate program, you tell it source drive, new drive, and it copies it. Then you put new drive in place of old drive. You can keep old drive as backup. All data still on it. I believe it’s a free download. I can look later. I use USB adapter to connect new drive while cloning.
I have copied many drives.

Maybe the links in your chain are different distance apart and the slide will land on the top of the link instead of missing it. When it misses a link there is no stop for the depth file.

Are you certain your chain pitch is .325 .. and not 3/8? Measure between the center points of 3 rivets and divide by 2.

If you use Oregon Chain .. you can look it up on their website.

I didn’t know you were French!

TBN GM .. is a great place to learn new things Randy.

Coffee is done brewing. 52° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 87° with mix of sun and clouds. While I got my Drivers License renewed yesterday. Charged me late fee. Huh, they were the ones who closed offices from March to mid June. $10 was not worth the argument. Glad to get it done. Going to work on painting window frames this morning. Until it's too hot to work outside. No other plans.
Even Sandhill Cranes think it is hot and humid.

Rick, I have 2 other file cabinets in shop. Full of manuals and instructions. Need to go thew those files and get rid of items I no long have. Rails where in cabinet.

Drew, I have External 1T SSD drive for backup on my PC. I use W10 to backup to it. They also have internal drives that are SSD.

Luther, it is dry here also. Big storm that was headed our way Monday. Changed direction and went north. 40% chance on this weekend. If I happen to catch any of it. I will send some your way.

RS, wow over 2200 hours. My B2910 has 550 hours after 20 years.

Buckeye, hope you get Dads and your mowers running.

David, get the mowing done. Almost time to start over.

RNG, good new network is going together.

Bird, endorsement is cheap in MI also. $7.

Wngsprd, good to leave markings for future generations.

Don, I am good for another 4 years. Just in case I want to ride a motorcycle.

Everyone stay healthy and safe.

Good Morning All.
